This car, a 1955 Porsche Spyder #550050, was delivered in the USA on June 28, 1955. The aluminium body is finished in metallic silver with black leather-covered bucket seats. As many other Spyder 550s, this is a Californian car.
In 1989, it had been restored by European Auto Restauration Inc., 1665 Babcock Street, Costa Mesa, CA 92627 for an important Japanese collector. Then, the car went back to Europe in the hands of Claude Picasso, a great connoisseur of fine cars whose collection is neither definetly set, nor static. At the wheel of this 550, he participated twice in the historic Targa Florio, the favourite ground of this nice Porsche, and in the first edition of Le Mans Classic. The condition of the car is nearly new, both mechanically and cosmetically.
This is a pure jewel, ready to be invited to participate in the main historic events and among these the Mille Miglia. Its documents are a FIVA passport, a U.S. title, a Japanese title and a French title ("carte grise de collection")
